Where can I find my flight reference?

Your flight reference can be found on your invoice/confirmation. This is not your Thomas Cook booking reference. Your flight reference is in the flights section of your Thomas Cook invoice and labelled Airline reference.

For example:

You’ll need this reference to check-in online and add any flight extras, such as baggage and pre booked seats. 

Need help with online check-in? We’ve created some guides for some of the most popular airlines to help. You'll find them in the Airline Check-in section.

Airlines can sometimes refer to this as a “PNR”, if you need to talk to them at all. 

If you're having trouble using your airline reference on your airlines website, please check you’re using the right letters and numbers, as the letter I O Z can look like the numbers 1 0 and 2. The reference is a random selection of numbers and letters in any order, which can also be just letters.
